Elvis Presley’s daughter was in town Saturday night. Lisa Marie Presley, a singer-songwriter with three albums under her belt, played to a sold-out Don Gibson Theatre in Shelby. The only child of Elvis, Presley released her third album last year, “Storm and Grace.” Fans of Lisa Marie, as well as die-hard Elvis fans, came from inside and outside of the state to hear her famous alto voice. For one Elvis-loving family from Greenville, S.C., it was their first time at one of her concerts.

Here’s what attendees had to say about why they came to the concert:

I’ve been a Lisa Marie fan for a long time, because we’re about the same age. I also came because we’re Elvis fans.

-Stan Williams, Greenville, S.C.

I came because I’ve been an Elvis fan ever since I can remember. Lisa Marie’s good. She’s got talent.

-Brad Thomas, Charleston, S.C.

We’ve been lifelong Elvis fans and now we follow Lisa Marie. It’s the first time we’ve seen a concert in person.

-Steve McAlister, Greenville, S.C.

I met Lisa Marie last year in Memphis and got her autograph. I’m a fan because dad’s a fan.

-Natalie McAlister, Greenville, S.C.

I came because I’m friends with one of the ladies who works at Dragonfly Wine Market. I loved Elvis. This is my first time seeing Lisa Marie.
